wpa_supplicant - could not connect - hermes driver

[dave at kjellquist.com]

I suppose it is something obvious but I have tried everything

Fedora Core 3 using wpa_supplicant 0.2.3
card is Enterasys Roamabout DS

PRODID_1="Cabletron"
PRODID_2="RoamAbout 802.11 DS"
PRODID_3="Version 01.01"
PRODID_4=""
MANFID=0156,0002
FUNCID=6

cardmgr works fine loading and unloading modules

lsmod output
orinoco_cs              9801  1
orinoco                45645  1 orinoco_cs
hermes                  7617  2 orinoco_cs,orinoco
pcmcia                 20805  5 orinoco_cs

wpa_supplicant with hermes.c compiles fine and everything works backing down to WEP

I am trying to run simple WPA-PSK. .conf file uses simple case with ssid and
passphrase

[dave]# wpa_supplicant -wdd -c/usr/local/bin/wpa_supplicant.conf -ieth1 -Dhermes
Configuration file '/usr/local/bin/wpa_supplicant.conf' ->
